Faith groups: Alliance Women

Alliance Women

Marilyn Allgire opened the December meeting with prayer. She shared thank-yous from the Ron Julian family, who were the group's Christmas missionaries, and from Voice of Hope for the group's contribution in November.

She commented on the governing board's plans concerning the March banquet. If it

is to be held in 2013,

the Alliance Women will not be sponsors,

as their purpose is

support of overseas missions.

For the evening's Bible study, ladies read various Scriptures that spoke of symbols that represent, or bring to mind, the Holy Spirit.

Five ladies went to the area meeting in Westerville last spring. Three young women who serve with their families on the mission field spoke, reminding attendees how important their prayers are, and how much these families rely on them for health, safety and evangelism in the countries where they serve.

The group discussed the apparent failure of the church today to uphold workers in prayer. Three families have recently had to leave the mission field for various reasons.

Plans were made to encourage more praying, and the meeting closed with prayer for these needs.
